Being What You Say: The Effect of Essentialist Linguistic Labels on Preferences (2004, background): “…no longer accepted (Bloom & Keil, 2001), research continues to suggest that the grammatical form of language can influence cognition, including spatial cognition (e.g., Levinson, 1996) temporal cognition (Boroditsky, 2001), social cognition (Hoffman et al., 1986), and perception and Banaji, 1993).”
Color Categories Are Culturally Diverse in Cognition as Well as in Language (2005, background): “Malt and Johnson (1998) found that category judgments for artifact categories were made in line with lexical categories; a result also found for classification by material or shape by Lucy (1992), for time by Boroditsky (2001), and for modes of motion by Gennari, Sloman, Malt, and Fitch (2002).”

Perceiving and remembering events cross-linguistically: Evidence from dual-task paradigms (2010, background): “We therefore focus on Slobin's definition of salience that is based on what is frequently and canonically encoded within a language (i.e., information carried by the main verb; cf. also Gentner & Boroditsky, 2001). though these differences were not statistically significant.”
Your highness: vertical positions as perceptual symbols of power. (2005, background): “The best experimental evidence comes from a set of ingenious experiments by Boroditsky and colleagues (Boroditsky, 2000, 2001; Boroditsky & Ramscar, 2002; Gentner, Imai, & Boroditsky, 2002).”
